Adobe Workfront 2021.2 Release

Hi there!

This is feedback on the new placement of "Projects I'm On" and "Projects I Own" In the Projects header area. I understand this was to increase the visibility of these options, but from a UI perspective, it is leading our users to think these can be used as supplemental to any filtering options they've already applied to the project list.

For example, someone has selected a View, Filter, and Grouping, with a filter for certain project attributes, which narrows the list of projects accordingly. Then they think when they select either Project I'm On or Projects I Own, Workfront will further narrow the existing list by this additional criteria (not just completely change the filter.) The expectation is that it will act as a 'refine filter' capability and they're disoriented when it gets rid of the filter they had configured/selected.

I can sort of see where they're coming from, the placement and visual treatment of these new options does make it seem like it's different from setting a filter through the filter control. These are users in NWE, by the way, and many of them never used Classic.

Final 2 cents is that I think it would actually be really cool if it did work the way they think it does :-).

Thanks!

I love the new release feature for recurring task! Does anyone know if there is a way to make the parent and child tasks recurring as well? For example, we create and deploy monthly emails and would like keep the Parent/child tasks grouped together and recurring as opposed to the individual copy, design, review and deploy tasks being grouped together when set to recurring . I hope this makes sense. Thanks

Good morning. I'm not sure if this is related to the new release or something else...when we go to assign someone to a task, it does not appear to be recognizing secondary job roles. For example: we have a co-worker that has copy editor as her primary and copy writer as her secondary job role. Previously, if I would assign her to a task that had the copy writer job role attached, the job role would go away once I assigned her. Today, the job role only goes away if I assign her to a task for copy editor, her primary job role. I have to now manually delete the job role if I assign her to a copy writer task.

Good morning,

We noticed on our "New Request" form, a few of the fields that were obvious dropdown choices previously now appear to be free form fields. When you click into the field, you see the available dropdown choices . Not terrible, but the confusing part for our users: You can type something else into the field, but then receive an error message stating this is a required field. Additionally, the "dropdown" choices that appear look very similar to the autofill suggestions that appear on what are truly free form fields. Will this be updated, or do we need to re-do our forms? Thanks.

Hi,

I have a few minor problems with the new release:

In the conversations, we now have the "Commit Date" pop-up in the "New Updates" field. How do I remove this?

Also the Text Formatting in Custom Forms is awesome, but it's missing the functionality of the other fields. We can't use the calculated field on the text formatting fields.

Best,

I followed the instruction on creating a journal report to determine the various status of a project and determining when the project was changed to that status. But I did not get the desired results following the instructions in the article. This is a highly requested feature. I am excited it is available. Now I need more information on how to make it happen.
